I feel a little bad that it took us until mid-February to finally get Josie out into the snow, but when we finally did, it was perfect! It was just above freezing which meant we could play for an hour or so without getting too cold and the white stuff had magically transformed into packing-snow-perfection! Grandma Fifi and Grandpa Bop's house provided the perfect winter playground and we ended up with the most perfect snowman imaginable.
Josie literally sprinted from the front door out into the snow...
No kidding, she dove right in and made her first snow angel...
And so did Lou...
And then she just started rolling....and giggling...
After her first actual taste of snow...
...it was time to start building our very own Frosty...
The perfect twiggy arms...
...Put perfectly into place...
A few finishing touches, including rocks for eyes and buttons, a tree-bark smile, carrot nose, and Grandma's scarf/hat/gloves and he was perfect!
Admiring their work...
Saying goodbye and going in for some homemade hot chocolate (yum!)...
The perfect snowy afternoon and the perfect snowman. The whole Schneider family got in on the action. What a special memory for Josie! As we drove away, we got one last picture of Frosty. Grandpa Bop found the pipe that made him magical. If you know anything about Josie's *obsession* with Frosty, then you know just how much this meant to her.
